Introduction

Adobe forms can be used for online and offline purpose. In the case of offline usage we can integrate web service, so user can save adobe form locally and can fill data and submit data by clicking button. By calling Web Service on clicking submit button, it will connect to SAP System and process data. For this purpose we can use RFC enabled function modules as web service. If we provide logon details while configuring Web Service, user will not prompt for password other user will be prompted for password. Based on the application usage proper security can also be implemented here.
